The stock rails hang down 2 3/4 inches past my pinchweld in front of the rear wheels , and i want to be able to lay the pinch welds , maybe that is where my difference is coming from ? part of it anyway .

Love the quick work on this..always something new almost everyday lol. I really hope the hood hinge idea works...if so im totally doing it lol. Are you keeping all the stock blazer seats in this project?

Well stay tuned we will see if they do , I think they will, i also have a unique cool idea i will be doing with the back of the hood and cowl panel also ! I dont know what to do on the seats , i cant make up my mind, i thought about just shortening the backs of the stock ones ???

Nice, ill be looking forward to seeing what you do with hood/cowl. Chopping the stocks would be nice.. Only thing i hate is that theres no armrest but i guess we got one on the doors. I love the stock plaid look, i think imma roll with stock and keep the plaid look but not in a stock color. Im sure its been said in the thread already but i dont feel like reading all day...what engine/trans you running?

The reason I ask is that when I placed my order me told me the exact number - 14, a month before it shipped. This was when he was calculating shipping. I liked that because it shows he knows how it's going to be packed, and he's not pulling some number out of thin air to cover shipping.

I guess I missed the part that you wanted to lay pinch. I thought you were building this so it wouldn't drag body since your wife was the intended user.

I don't remember exactly how close my pinch would be aired out, but it was very little clearance. I planned a nice paint job, and had no desire to risk it in the event of an air system failure. I had planned to run .50 removable drag blocks on the bottom of the frame to save it from damage.

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 
i wonder if you could lower the bodymounts to get that last 3/4 inch , i think the bodymounts alone should do the trick

Yes i want it to lay pinch at shows but i also plan on putting in easily removable bump stops to run when she is driving it .
